Paddle three hours on Coosa River, passing Class 1, II, and III rapids over the 6.8 mile run. Although intimidating to look at,
most of the rapids are manageable for novice to intermediate paddlers. The banks are lined with oaks, magnolia, dogwood, azaleas, and interesting rock formations, including dozens of islands for stopping and relaxing in the middle of the river.

Day 2 – Get up at 7 a.m., break camp, and hike about 1/2 mile to a new camp site (and our van) and set up camp. We will drive about 4 miles to a mountain top restaurant with spectacular vistas of the National Forest for a late morning buffet breakfast. Then, drive back to camp and without backpacks, hike to Caney Head atop Talladega Mountain (2100 feet above mean sea level) with the last mile presenting an extremely steep, rock-scrambling climb.

COME JOIN CAMPUS RECREATION AND OUTDOOR ADVENTURES FOR A HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE We will “fly like an eagle” 1500 feet above the ground and enjoy breathtaking sights of the Eastern Shore of the Bay. No work involved; just relax and enjoy the majestic views.

We will depart from Campus Recreation 90 minutes prior to sunrise and arrive at our destination in Magnolia Springs, AL., 30 minutes prior to sunrise. We will split into 2 groups of three – four (weight maximum of 600 lbs. per flight); each of the two groups will get to fly for 20 to 30
minutes as the other group “gives chase” in a pursuit car. The balloon will land “where it chooses” and the next group will swap out. At ballooning’s end, we will go out as a group for brunch and brag about our trip.
FULL MOON PADDLE Tuesday, September 9th
We will depart from the Scott’s Landing on the Causeway, paddle up the Blakeley River, and then dip into surrounding waterways and head into Justin's Bay. We will pass by alligators, jumping fish, and other “creatures of the night.” In Justin’s Bay, we will tie up the canoes and kayaks on the water and have a picnic dinner as we gaze at the stars and of course watch the gorgeous “moon over Mobile” rise in the sky.

Saturday, September 13th
Perdido River This is an easy float trip with no rapids and will be fun for both beginners and advanced paddlers. The Perdido River demarcates the state line between Alabama and Florida. We will begin our trip at Barrineau Park and then be taken by a semi-swift current for 4 miles along remote pine and oak wooded areas. We’ll see lots of NO TRESPASSING signs and private hunting camps and small bayous, bogs, and feeder streams that can be navigated for short distances and provide an environment much different from that of the river. We will pack lunch and eat on the river.
Leave Campus Rec at 8:00 a.m. Drive one hour to Barrieneau Park, “set sail” around 10 a.m. and paddle/play on the river for about four hours. Return to the Student Recreation Center around 5:00 p.m.
